Git 2.30 Release Notes == Updates since v2.29 --- UI, Workflows & Features * Userdiff for PHP update. * Userdiff for Rust update. * Userdiff for CSS update. * The command line completion script (in contrib/) learned that "git stash show" takes the options "git diff" takes. * "git worktree list" now shows if each worktree is locked. This possibly may open us to show other kinds of states in the future. * "git maintenance", an extended big brother of "git gc", continues to evolve. * "git push --force-with-lease[=]" can easily be misused to lose commits unless the user takes good care of their own "git fetch". A new option "--force-if-includes" attempts to ensure that what is being force-pushed was created after examining the commit at the tip of the remote ref that is about to be force-replaced. * "git clone" learned clone.defaultremotename configuration variable to customize what nickname to use to call the remote the repository was cloned from. * "git checkout" learned to use checkout.guess configuration variable and enable/disable its "--[no-]guess" option accordingly. * "git resurrect" script (in contrib/) learned that the object names may be longer than 40-hex depending on the hash function in use. * "git diff A...B" learned "git diff --merge-base A B", which is a longer short-hand to say the same thing. * A sample 'push-to-checkout' hook, that performs the same as what the built-in default action does, has been added. * "git diff" family of commands learned the "-I" option to ignore hunks whose changed lines all match the given pattern. * The userdiff pattern learned to identify the function definition in POSIX shells and bash. * "git checkout-index" did not consistently signal an error with its exit status, but now it does. * A commit and tag object may have CR at the end of each and every line (you can create such an object with hash-object or using --cleanup=verbatim to decline the default clean-up action), but it would make it impossible to have a blank line to separate the title from the body of the message. We are now more lenient and accept a line with lone CR on it as a blank line, too. * Exit codes from "git remote add" etc. were not usable by scripted callers, but now they are. * "git archive" now allows compression level higher than "-9" when generating tar.gz output. * Zsh autocompletion (in contrib/) update. * The maximum length of output filenames "git format-patch" creates has become configurable (used to be capped at 64). * "git rev-parse" learned the "--end-of-options" to help scripts to safely take a parameter that is supposed to be a revision, e.g. "git rev-parse --verify -q --end-of-options $rev". * The command line
